Hi everyone, I’m a digital consultant currently based in Italy.
I’m planning to relocate to Malta by the end of the year to benefit from the Non-Dom regime. My yearly revenue is around €150k/200k.
My proposed structure is:
US LLC (Wyoming, disregarded): To receive payments from international clients (approx. €20k/month). Malta Self-Employment:
I plan to invoice my LLC for approx. €4,000/month as a "management fee/salary" to cover my local living expenses, pay NI (Social Security), and Income Tax in Malta. Non-Dom Status:
Keep the surplus (approx. €10k/month) in the US/offshore bank account, not remitting it to Malta, thus keeping it tax-free under the remittance basis rule.
My questions for those already doing this: How do you handle the "Management and Control" risk? Have you obtained a formal Tax Opinion from a local firm?
Can anyone recommend a reliable Tax Advisor/CPA in Malta who actually understands US LLCs and doesn't just do basic bookkeeping?
Has anyone faced challenges with local banks (BOV, HSBC) or EMI (Revolut/Wise) when transferring the "salary" from the LLC?
I'm looking for peer feedback, not just sales pitches from agencies. Thanks in advance!
